Figures direct from my FRC's:

Card 9 (AL13)

Best Power Mixture
Fuel Consumption - (ISA, all altitudes and weights)

Power% RPM GPH
95 2600/2400/2200 12.5 / - / -
90 11.9 / - / -
80 10.7 / 10.5 / -
70 9.7 / 9.4 / 9.1
60 8.7 / 8.4 / 8.1
50 7.7 / 7.4 / 7.1
40 6.8 / 6.4 / 6.2

Best Economy Mixture

Power% RPM GPH
70 2600/2400/2200/2000/1800 8.3 / 8.1 / - / - / -
60 7.4 / 7.2 / 6.9 / - / -
50 6.5 / 6.3 / 6.1 / 5.9 / 5.7
40 5.6 / 5.4 / 5.2 / 5.0 / 4.8



As far as range is concerned, the best indicated on the FRC's on Card 10a is 426nm based on full fuel (28 gallons). An arbitrary 4 gallons allowance has been made for descent, landing and unusable fuel from the 32 gallon capacity. At 8000ft and 50% power/2200rpm using best economy mixture this returns the above range figure. At the other end of the perf tables if you use best power mixture at 95%/2600 rpm down at sea level you will get 247nm for those same 28 gallons.

A climb to 10000ft at ISA, MTOM and maximum power will take 14mins and use 2.6gallons. ( A quickie up to 2000ft will use 0.5 gallons)

Published AUW is 2350lbs and maximum load in baggage compartment is 220lbs

Caveat

All figures prepared by Royal Air Force Handling Squadron, Boscombe, for Bulldog T Mk1 and may differ from what your aircraft may experience.
